Understanding the live gold price
Gold is priced per troy ounce (about 31.1035 grams) in US dollars, written as XAU/USD. The number above is the live spot price — the price for immediate delivery, discovered continuously across global markets.
What moves the gold price?
Gold reacts to the strength of the US dollar, interest-rate expectations, inflation, geopolitical uncertainty, and physical supply and demand. Because it is priced in dollars, a weaker dollar often lifts the gold price and vice versa.
Spot vs. retail price
The spot price is a wholesale benchmark. When you buy a physical coin or bar you also pay a premium over spot that covers minting, distribution and dealer margin. Our silver price and unit converter pair well with this tool.
